small boy is there by the nunured, and
his knowledge of the players and their
characteristics is not in proportion to
his size, for many wee lad in knee
pants can give the batting and fielding
averages of every man in the club, and
they know personally the great men of
all the visiting clubs. And the state
officers are all dividing their attention
between the duties of the capitol and
the pleasures of the ball ground. This
afternoon the Milwaukees made five
runs in the first two innings and Des
MoineS did not score until the fourth.
The weather was bad and none of the
state officers went over. But they
stood at their telephones, and as
the goose eggs were counted off
to them the statesmen gathered together
for comfort The secretary of state,
the auditor, the treasurer, the clerk OF
the supreme court all were there, and it
was not until the eighth inning that the
>eS MoineS score took satisfactory
turn. Then did the servants of the peo-
pie and the citizens of the town rejoice.
The ladies go. They are seen by the
hundreds i'll the grand stand. They
come in, two and three together, some
with gentlemen escorts and some with
out. but all with an abiding interest III
the game. And they stop on the public
streets to read the ball bulletins which
enterprizing merchants place in front of
their stores. They entertain their call
ers with accounts of the remark
able double play that Davy
Force made, and the splendid
way i'll which Veach covers first. They
can describe the peculiarities of the
pitchers. Hutch" Clark, Tied" and
Little Wells each has his admirers.
Many of the leading society ladies of
the city attend the games. and there is
no city in the West possessed of a
more refined society than is found in
Iowa's capital. Everywhere is heard
ball talk. Coming out of church last
Sunday morning, two ladies were heard
to greet each other: "Good morning
such fine sermon" ''Splendid-who
pitches tomorrow" "Wells-didn't
our boys do up Lovett YESTERDAY,
thOugh?' 81 couldn't go-SO sorry.
Good-by." And l am told this is not
unusual. | can not help wondering
whether, if Minneapolis had base ball
club as is Il base ball club, there would
be such an awakening as is manifest in
this town. But of course speculation on
the subject is useless, because the Min
neapOliS club is not of sort to inspire
enthusiasm anywhere but in the camp
of its opponents. <.

st. Paul and Minneapolis audiences
Joined, Yesterday, in applaudihg one of
the most exciting games of the series,
played on the Minneapolis grounds.
over 4,000 people were present and after
oVertiowing the stands and bleaching
boards, crowded the grounds up tn the
foul lines. Just before the game, the
players bench and house broke down
and black dog ran bowling across the
field. from which unfavOrable auguries
were drawn on both sides. Winkleman
and SowderS occupied the box and both
did fine work. though the latter was
better supported. In the second inning
unkleman was hit on the arm by
pitched ball and his after work conSid-
erably affected. For three innings
neither team could score, though st.
Paul got men on bases each inning. In
the fourth. after one man was out,
Cleveland was given life on MeiSter'S
wide throw and sent to third by wild
pitches, scoring on SowderS' hit. The
next inning. Wmkleman got nervous
and sent Burch and Crooks to first on
balls, both scoring on hits. Minneapolis
could do nothing with SowderS until the
ninth, only three scattered hits being
made. In the ninth successive hits by
kreig. Foster and Strict, with the lat
ter'S out at second, gave two earned
runs, but the next two men went out
and ended the game. The pitching was
SO effective that of the hits made none
was for over single. The hits credited
to Crooks and McCauley were scratch
hits inside the diamond. and Fosters
was a hit by virtue of slip down.
Each team made five clean hits. The
fielding of ST. Paul was admirable. not
being marred by so much as batting
error. Sullivan was occasionally hooted,
but his decisions were usually correct.
The official score is as follows:

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Figures and Speculation on the
Playing of Individual Teams.

1t is now pretty generally conceded
that EetrOit will win the National league
pennant. When the Western clubs
started on ther last trip East Chicago
was but one game behind the Michigan
club, and New York, Philadelphia and
Boston were close behind. 1t looked as
though there would be a very general
shaking up of the teams, which might
bring any one of the five out on top.
But base ball is very uncertain game.
On its previous trip Detroit had lost
right and left, and returned home in
badly crippled condition. This time,
however, Dame Fortune smiled on the
Wolverines, and they took. three
games from Washington, three from
Boston, two from New York and one
from Philadelphia, having played but
two games with the latter club. Chi
cag0 and Detroit meet for the first game
of their last series to-day in Detroit. and
the Michigan nine has lead Of forty
course, it is not impossible for Chicago
to overcome this lead, but the season is
So far advanced that it is pretty hard
work to make so large gain. Another
thing, Detroit is now playing a much
stronger game than Chicago, and the
chances are about two to one that De-
troit'S lead will be increased right along.
Really. it now looks as though Chi
cago would have the hardest kind of work
to stay in second place. 1t has, how
ever, the advantage of having most of
the remainder of its schedule to play on
the home grounds, while New York,
Philadelphia and Boston must play
most of their games in the West. The
three little clubs-Pittsburg Washing
ton and lndianapolis-are now in the
order in which they will probably end
the season. Pittsburg is much the
strongest of the three. In fact, were it

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 4.-Milwau-
kee was badly beaten to-day in the
presence of one of the biggest crowds of
the season. Oshkosh started in by max
ing six runs, and the game was mere
procession from that time. The Osh-
kosh men hit Shenkel hard, the left
handler being in poor condition on ac-
count of ii lame arm. The Milwaukees
were badly off in their fielding, and
their errors counted materially against
ceiYed splendid support from Wilson.
He was hit hard in the last three inn
ings, but it was too late to win the
game. The fielding of Doran and the
catching of Wilson were the features of
the game. Mccarthy also made couple
of brilliant PLAYS. Score:

fact, better bunched than they have ever

are so close together that a week may
change the positions of every one of the
four teams. st. Paul occupies the pecul-

than any other club, but is second in the
race from having played four games
more than Milwaukee and lost three of

British soldiers life does not seem to be call
beer and skittles," judging from the army returns
Those who have the British army under their con-
troll should really try and find out why it is that
during the last twelve months upward of 1000
men should have run away. English soldiers do
not usually cut and run in the face OF an enemy;
but during the piping times OF peace vast num-
Der appear to be DESTROYS of getting out OF their
bargain to serve the queen. 1t is true that the
army is largely-principally, I may say-recruited
from the lower strata OF society," and that the pay
which private soldier receives is not very high,
but the British is the best-paid army in Europe,
and after making every allowance, the number OF
deserters is appallingly large, and induces to
think there must be something wrong in the syS-
tenn. Were the army conscTtpted the mystery
would be mystery no longer; but this is not the
case, and can only account for 1t by the undue
worry and hurry which attend life in many OF the
regiments. Martinez officers, Overbear1ng subal-
terms and frequent stogpages OF pay for trifling
breaches OF red tape rule-these are some of the
reasons, and another probably is the practice OF
taking recruits at too early an age, before they
know their own minds. During the last year or
two want and starvation have been her majesty's
best recruiting Sergeants. They have driven
many men into the army who repented their bar
gain as soon as they got their stOmachs fairly well
f1lled again.

Great Scare in Madrid.

AN ACCIDENT TO THE INFANTA ISABELLA CAUSES
RUMORS OF KIDNAPPING.
For several hours on Saturday Madrid was eX-
cited over sensational reports that the Infanta
Isabella sister of the late King Alfonso had been
kidnapped or killed. The Infanta had gone out in
a carriage to follow the royal huntsmen in the
Prado She occupied her carriage alone, and was
escorted by three aides. In a remote part OF the
great park the carriage broke down, throwing the
Infanta into ditch. She was not hurt, although
it was feared she was 1t was deemed prudent for
her to remain at the scene OF the accident until
assistance could be procured, and for this lackey
was despatched. Much time was lost in all this
In the meantime the huntSmen had gone great
distance before they missed their royal mistress
and when they discovered she was no longer with
them they became greatly frightened, started
general alarm and began noisy search. The
prolonged absence OF the Infanta from the castle
caused uneaSneSS there, and finally police and
troops were sent out in search OF her. They heard
the reports which had been scattered by the fright
ened huntsmen, and the whole country was sub
jected to securing, alarming the people and pro-
ducing the most sensational stories. The lackey
sent for assistance was SLOW and it was 10 O'Clock
at night before the royal carriage was found and
the truth heralded about town. What added to
the general CONSERVATION during the search for
the Infanta the recollection OF the recent con-
spiracy, attributed to stock gamblers for stealing
the royal babe, and leaving the throne without an
heir
